About NJCV Lab

New Jersey Computer Vision Lab, LLC is a research-driven computer vision laboratory. As demand for industrial AI solutions grew, we built an engineering and manufacturing team in China — giving us the speed and cost advantages of China's hardware supply chain while maintaining US-based project oversight and compliance.

Today, NJCV Lab handles client relationships, compliance, and project scoping from the US; our engineering team in China delivers full-stack development from mechanical design through manufacturing to on-site commissioning. This structure gives our clients the best of both worlds — US accountability and oversight, combined with China's unparalleled hardware supply chain and engineering velocity.

Our focus: Applying computer vision and artificial intelligence to industrial inspection. The majority of our work serves the semiconductor industry, with additional projects in optical communication, rare-earth magnetics, consumer electronics, and food & beverage.

What We Offer

Four service tiers that take your project from concept to production — enter at any level, depending on how far along you are.

Catalog 0 $0–$6,000

🔬 Concept Validation & Feasibility Study

Before you invest in a full system, we prove — with a physical test rig, real images, and a conclusive report — that your defects can be seen optically. You ship samples, we build the setup, shoot, and iterate. Go/No-Go report in 2–6 weeks.

Catalog 1 $10,000–$30,000

🤖 AI Defect Detection Algorithm

From lab model to production inference engine. We train, validate, quantize, and deploy deep learning models (YOLO, UNet, ResNet, ViT) on your edge hardware — Jetson, x86 IPC, or Docker. Not a Jupyter demo. A deployable pipeline.

Get started →
Catalog 2 $2,000–$12,000

⚙️ Equipment Hardware Design & Fabrication

You have the vision algorithm. We build the physical machine around it. Mechanical design (SolidWorks), electrical schematics, enclosures, and (Premium tier) fabrication through our China supply chain — CNC, sheet metal, wiring, assembly. No algorithms included.

Get started →
Catalog 4 $30,000–$80,000+

🏭 Full-Stack Turnkey Equipment

You describe the problem, we ship the machine. Mechanical + electrical + firmware + software + vision + AI — all by one engineer backed by a full R&D team. FAT, SAT, operator training, and bilingual documentation included. 12–26 weeks from contract to commissioning.

6. Wheel-Legged Patrol & Inspection Robot (OEM Platform Integration)

Project: In-House R&D — Secondary Development Platform

Built on a procured wheel-legged quadrupedal robot, this secondary-development platform integrates autonomous inspection and security capabilities into a field-deployable mobile unit. The hybrid wheel-leg locomotion enables rolling at 2+ m/s on flat ground and switching to walking gait for stair climbing, obstacle negotiation, and light jumps in rough terrain.

Our value-add is the full-stack inspection software and sensor payload: autonomous patrol route planning, scheduled inspection missions, and task-specific inspection modules. Currently production-ready capabilities include instrument panel reading, license plate recognition, and non-compliant personnel behavior detection. Beyond routine patrol, the platform reaches environments unsuitable for human workers — pipeline interiors, sewer tunnels, and toxic or hazardous zones — making it a force-multiplier for inspection teams in high-risk infrastructure.

Status: Core patrol-inspection workflow production-complete — timed autonomous patrol, waypoint-based routing, and key event logging operational in designated areas. Pipeline: expanded inspection item catalog, multi-sensor fusion (thermal, gas detection), and broader environment adaptation.
